📋 Instructions

1. 1Toast the bread — Toast the 4 bread slices in a toaster or on a sheet pan at 375 F (190 C) for 4 to 5 minutes, until golden brown and dry to the touch. Dry, crisp toast is what keeps the cream cheese from making it soggy.
2. 2Butter the edges — While the toast is still warm, swipe the softened butter lightly around the outer edges of each slice. This gives the crusts a little richness and a pleasant crispness.
3. 3Spread the ghost — Spread about 2 tablespoons of softened cream cheese over each slice in a rounded ghost shape, leaving a small border of toast bare around the edge. A butter knife works better than a spoon here.
4. 4Arrange the bananas — Pat the banana slices dry, then lay them over the cream cheese in a single overlapping layer, pressing gently so they settle in. Keep them in one layer so the toast stays easy to pick up.
5. 5Add the face — Press 2 mini chocolate chips into each slice for eyes and arrange 3 more in a small curve for a mouth. Add the cinnamon now if you are using it.
6. 6Drizzle and serve — Drizzle the honey over the top in thin lines and serve right away, while the toast is still crisp at the edges and the banana is sweet and soft.
